the call. In addition to his pastora
work he was connected with The Lu.

Fires In Saluda.
Corinth school house,, in Saluda
mconty, was burned Wednesday night.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but as school was not in session, many
think it was the act of an incendiary.
The building was comparatively new
and a credit to the people of the dis
trict.
The residence on the Culbreath
place in Saluda county was destroyed
by fire the latter part of la:st week.
No one was residing in the house, and
there is no evidence as to the cause of
the burning. However, some people
attribute it to the carelessness of
negroes who were thought to gather
there for gambling. The building wa~
erected nearly a hundred years ago.
Mr. 13uck Culbreath lived there for
many years, and in this house was

THE HOSPITAL MOVEMENT.
e Prospects Seems Bright-Citizens
Meeting Decided to B uild-Com
mittee to Raise Ca Stock.
L The prospect for a hospital at New
- berry now seems to be very encourag
ing. The matter has been agitated
here for some time and a special com
mittee from the Chamber of Com
f merce was appointed some weeks ago
to look into the matter and secure 1
information as to the cost and the ]
1, best plan to be adopted for a town
of this size. That committee made a
very full and exhaustive report and
a suggested that the best plan was by
the organization of a joint stock com
1 pany, the purpose of the company not
- being to make money, but to invest
money rather for humanitarian pur- 1
- poses. It was suggested that the.
company be organized with a capi- 1
I tal stock of $15,000, divided into six!.
bundred shares of the par value of
$25 each.
At the meeting Monday night it was
decided to' adopt this plan and the
committee, which has been in charge
(-fit, was instructed to proceed with
the raising of the stock and to act as 3
corporators and to secure the charter.
To this committee was added all of
the physicians of this county, who are
asked to cooperate, the purpose be
ing to make it a county institution.
i-The attendance upon the meeting Mon- i
day night was small, but $1200 of the
capital stock was subscribed by those t
present. The indications are that the i
stock will be secured without any Z
difficulty and that the hospital will I
be-built. t

their cause; and, if they still persist t1
in their sangiunary purpose, oh, let 2
the voice of thine own unerring jus- I
